The Presbyterian Church of Post Falls, Idaho was organized in 1890 with 15 charter members. Its choir director, Frederick Post, was also the founder of the town. In 1921, the Presbyterians joined with the Methodist congregation to form Community Presbyterian Church. Our current building, used for worship, fellowship, and community events, is still in the heart of the old downtown. Along with a beckoning Celtic-styled cross, the three stained-glass windows at the front of our sanctuary welcome all who enter with a view of God’s creation reminiscent of the magnificent panorama of rivers and trees outside our walls. Community Presbyterian Church is part of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Presbytery of the Inland Northwest.

The Rev. Betsey Moe is the Interim Pastor at Community Presbyterian Church. She has served congregations in Denver and Spokane and recently finished a five-year term as a Mission Co-Worker with CEDEPCA, the Protestant Center for Pastoral Studies in Central America. Betsey grew up in the Inland Northwest and loved raising her family in a place where they could enjoy nature, the arts, and authentic community.

Community Presbyterian Church is a congregation with active lay leadership, blessed with people who initiate and sustain active ministries. Our Session (leadership board) currently has nine elders that lead teams responsible for Worship, Outreach, Missions, Stewardship, Nurture/Discipleship, Fellowship, Property, Administration/Personnel, and Nominating. Our Deacons are a separate group of nine people dedicated to the care and uplifting of our congregation through regular prayer and visitation.
